Who needs an eTA
Citizens of visa-exempt countries who are flying to Canada need an eTA. This includes travellers from many European countries, Australia, Japan, and others. If you are arriving by land or sea, an eTA is not required. BorderPass helps you confirm whether you need an eTA or a visitor visa before you travel.
